    If you're familiar with Malibu rum then you know it makes some of the most popular cocktails around. If you're not familiar with Malibu rum, it's never too late to give it a try!

    This easy Malibu cocktail is almost too pretty to drink and it only requires 3 ingredients! The beautiful 'sunset' appearance comes from carefully layering grenadine, pineapple juice, and coconut rum.

    You can serve a refreshing Malibu pina colada shaken over ice or blend it into a tasty frozen cocktail! It has a double punch of coconut flavor from coconut rum and cream of coconut, as well as some tropical flavor from pineapple juice.

    Malibu Pina Colada
    The Malibu Pina Colada is a super easy to make rum cocktail using pineapple juice, rich coconut cream, and ice! Pina Coladas have a slushy consistency that is filled with tasty tropical flavors! Shaken and served over ice, or blended and served in hurrican glasses makes this cocktail absolutely perfect for guests and parties!

    5. Bahama Mama

    This fruity drink will transport you to a tropical vacation, even if you're just hanging out at home. In fact, you can find frozen or on the rocks versions of this drink at most vacation destinations!

    A Bahama mama is made by combining both light coconut rum and dark rum with orange juice, pineapple juice, and grenadine. It is often served in a hurricane glass whether it's frozen or on ice, though I find it more fun to drink it straight out of pineapple for the full vacation experience!

    Bahama Mama
    This Bahama mama rum cocktail is a deliciously fruity drink that is perfect for sipping by the pool or on the beach! The flavorful combination of orange juice, pineapple juice, grenadine, coconut rum, and dark rum is a popular drink at vacation destinations all over the world. Enjoy a tropical staycation by whipping up a few of these easy cocktails for your next party or just because!

    7. Frozen Blue Hawaiian

    If you enjoy a spiked slushy or frozen daiquiri, you'll love this frozen blue Hawaiian cocktail! It's somewhat similar to a pina colada, but with a vibrant blue color from blue curacao.

    Both Malibu coconut rum and Malibu pineapple rum would be great choices for the tropical flavors of this drink.

    Frozen Blue Hawaiian Cocktail
    This frozen blue Hawaiian cocktail has wonderful tropical flavors - they're the perfect combination of light rum, blue curacao, coconut, and pineapple! Plus, this cocktail is blue. How fun is that?! Garnish with fresh pineapple and you have the perfect pick-me-up on a dreary day!

    8. Rum Runner

    If you're looking for a stiff drink that still has a significant fruity flavor, a rum runner is a cocktail for you. For starters, it contains an impressive 5 different types of alcohol.

    A rum runner has 1 ounce each of banana liqueur, blackberry liqueur, light rum, dark rum, and a high-proof rum like Don Q 151. Don't worry, it also has plenty of sweet flavor from orange juice, pineapple juice, and grenadine for a strong, but well-balanced drink.

    The Real Rum Runner
    This rum runner recipe is a fruity cocktail made with tropical juices, banana liquor, light and dark rums, and grenadine served shaken or blended.

    9. Electric Smurf

    This cocktail gets its name from the vibrant blue-green color that can only be described as that of an 'electric smurf'. Luckily, it's as pleasant to drink as it is to look at!

    An electric smurf is made with two alcohols: Malibu coconut rum and blue curacao. Those are paired with pineapple juice and lemon-lime soda like Sprite for a tasty tropical cocktail that is wonderfully refreshing.

    Electric Smurf - Tipsy Bartender
    The Electric Smurf is one of those drinks that you can bust out with when you want to impress all your friends with a little beautiful cocktail. This coconut rum cocktail mixes up coconut rum (duh), blue curacao, pineapple rum, pineapple juice, and lemon lime soda, and tastes just as good as it look…

    10. Malibu Paradise

    A Malibu paradise is a smooth and fruity drink that can be made in a pitcher for parties or days lounging by the pool. It's made with both Malibu coconut rum and vodka (I like using Titos or Absolut), as well as 1 part pineapple juice and 2 parts cranberry juice.

    The flavor is slightly tangy and sweet with a hint of coconut. It's cool, refreshing, and easy to sip on!

    11. Malibu Mistress

    A Malibu mistress cocktail has an enticing vibrant green color that is hard to resist. It is made with equal parts coconut rum and melon liqueur which gives it a unique flavor that tastes fabulous when combined with pineapple juice.

    Typically, it's topped with whipped cream and a cherry for a fun garnish. The neon green color makes it a wonderful choice for holiday celebrations like Christmas & Halloween!

    The Malibu Mistress - Tipsy Bartender
    THE MALIBU MISTRESS 1 oz. (30ml) Coconut Rum 1 oz. (30ml) Melon Liqueur 2 oz. (60ml) Pineapple Juice Garnish: Whipped Cream, Cherry PREPARATION 1.

    12. Bliss On The Beach

    You might be familiar with the more provocative name for this cocktail, but for the sake of this article we'll call it 'bliss on the beach'. Don't worry, it still has the same great taste!

    This super fruity cocktail is made by combining vodka, peach schnapps, and in this case, Malibu coconut rum, with orange and cranberry juice. Malibu isn't technically part of the standard recipe, but it is a great modern twist that you are sure to enjoy.

    Is It Time for a Little Bliss on the Beach?
    A fruity vodka cocktail, the bliss (or sex) on the beach is a very popular recipe. It’s easy, and the peach, orange, and cranberry taste is hard to resist.

    13. Malibu White Sangria

    If you're looking for a crowd-pleasing sangria for a girl's night or a day by the pool, a Malibu white sangria is just the thing. Typically, you would make it in a pitcher for easy serving.

    Combine 1 bottle of white wine with 2 ounces of Malibu coconut rum, 1 cup of white cranberry juice, 1 cup of grapefruit juice, and whatever fresh fruit you have available in a pitcher. Fill with ice and enjoy!

    14. Mai Tai

    A Mai Tai is a classic rum cocktail made with both dark spiced rum (usually Captain Morgan) and coconut rum. It also includes fruity flavors from orange juice, pineapple juice, and grenadine. This tasty tiki drink is always a crowd favorite!

    Mai Tai
    This Mai Tai cocktail blends two rums, coconut and spiced, with pineapple juice, orange juice, and grenadine to make a tropical, fruity party drink.

    15. Malibu Mudslide

    Unlike the other cocktails on this list, an Island donkey doesn't include fruity flavors outside of a hint of coconut from the Malibu rum. Instead, it has a rich and creamy chocolate flavor with a hint of cinnamon.

    It's made with milk, Malibu, chopped white chocolate, and a touch of cinnamon, then topped off with whipped cream. It's almost like a boozy milkshake!
